INDIANAPOLIS - Junior goalkeeper Olivia
Walter was named Horizon League Women's Soccer Player of the Week
after posting a pair of shutouts over the weekend. It is her first
career accolade from the league office.

"We are happy for Olivia," head coach Tari St. John said. "Her
courageous performance over the weekend was a great representation
of Butler soccer.

"Olivia has put in so much work to get to where she is today as
a goalkeeper and as an athlete. Anyone who knows Olivia has a deep
respect for her work ethic."

Walter played 180 minutes of scoreless netminding in two Bulldog
victories. On Friday, Oct. 8, she had three saves in a 3-0 win at
Green Bay. Two days later at league-leading Milwaukee, the
Fairview, Tenn., native delivered the best performance of her
career. Walter stopped 10 shots in a 1-0 victory at Milwaukee. It
was BU's first win over the Panthers since 1999.

For the week, Walter went 2-0-0 with 13 saves. Her goalkeeping
and Butler's scoring surge helped the Bulldogs to 3-1 in the
Horizon League, just one point out of first place in the league
standings.
